Recipe: Mashed Potatoes with Something Extra!

This is our last recipe of the year - we cannot wait to see you Thursday! Today we ask, why not add a nutritious twist (pumpkin) to your classic mashed potatoes?

Ingredients

1 15-oz can pumpkin puree

1/2 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp fresh thyme

8 Yukon gold potatoes, diced

3/4 cup milk

4 Tbsp butter

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, garlic and thyme.

Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and reserve 1 cup of cooking water. Return potatoes to the pot.

Mash the potatoes until smooth and then stir the butter in. Add the milk and continue mashing, then add 1/2 cup of cooking water at a time until smooth. Season with salt, garlic powder, and pepper.

Place the potatoes in a serving dish, and add the pumpkin mixture and fold in, creating swirls.
